With proper care and professional installation, crochet weave can last four to eight weeks. Longevity depends on hair growth, daily routine, and maintenance. We recommend salon touch-ups at four-week intervals to refresh edges and ensure installation integrity for optimal appearance.

When installed by professionals and maintained correctly, crochet weave minimizes stress on your hair. Proper braiding foundation, low-tension techniques, and routine cleansing and moisturizing prevent breakage. Avoid over-tightening and prolonged wear to protect hair health and promote growth.

Gently cleanse scalp weekly, dilute shampoo, and focus on roots. Moisturize with lightweight leave-in products, detangle softly, and sleep on a satin pillowcase or bonnet. Limit heavy products and avoid excessive heat to maintain style and prolong installation life.

Yes, you can exercise and swim, but take precautions. Wear a swim cap, rinse salt or chlorine promptly, and moisturize afterward. Secure the installation and tie hair back to reduce tangling. Follow our care tips to maintain longevity and prevent matting.
